Two forms (I and II) of beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase from cock seminal plasma and one form (III) from spermatozoa were separated by chromatofocusing. The active enzyme forms I and II had pI values of 6.6 and 6.3, respectively, while form III had two subforms with pI values of 6.3 and 6.1, as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrofocusing. The molecular weights were 76,000 for forms I and III and 32,000 for form II. The optimum pH of enzyme forms I and III ranged from 3.6 to 4.0. In contrast, form II showed one distinct maximum at pH 3.7. The Km values obtained with p-nitrophenyl-beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminide as substrate were 0.35, 0.28, and 0.39 mM for forms I, II, and III, respectively. It is assumed that both cock spermatozoa and cock seminal plasma contain a common, enzymatically active beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase subunit with M(r) about 32,000 and pI 6.3.
